Tokyo Reborn: Dark Superstar

Chapter 169 Domineering is above all else

In 1997, Atrela II passed away, the old king became seriously ill and bedridden, and Jordan fell into chaos.

Mimihaji PMC Company dispatched a special operations team led by Suraniman to evacuate Princess Rania and her children from the capital Amman to Aqaba.

Aqaba is a coastal city in the southernmost part of Jordan and the capital of Aqaba Province. It is located at the top of the Gulf of Aqaba and is Jordan's only coastal port. It is also an important industrial center and a famous tourist attraction on the Red Sea.

Suraniman and Princess Rania signed a strategic security cooperation agreement, established a supply base, and established the Aqaba militia force of the Mimihaki PMC Company.

The Mimihachi PMC Company mobilized a battalion from the Persian Ghaya militia and secretly controlled the port of Aqaba City.

…………

Princess Rania also donated 1000 million Jordanian dinars to Night Tokyo Charity Welfare Institute.

Takakura Bunta, a charity volunteer from the Department of Strengthening, specially provided water pipe diversion services.

Princess Rania is performing a ceremony for Atlilah II at the Great Hussein Temple.

Bunta Takakura suggested that Rania bring a wedding dress she wore a few years ago and use it to dredge sewers and maintain pipelines on the coffin of Atrela II in the Great Hussein Temple.

…………

No wonder Tony, this guy, has taken so many pictures of this kind of subject.

The sacred temple and my husband's funeral were really exciting...

....................................

Bunta Takakura flew between Alfen International Airport in Jordan and Haneda International Airport in Tokyo.

After returning to the crew, Takakura Bunta devoted himself to the filming of the crew and arranged the three pillar industries of Totland Investment.

Regarding the studio affairs, Kanda Keiko, Liu Xiaoli, and Lin Zhiling, as the three-person management team, are fully responsible for the operation of Takakura Bunta Studio;

Mizuno Doyue and Goro are responsible for the production and sales of Metaverse Planning Company;
Xu Xiangyang is in charge of Mimihaji PMC Company.

…………

During the filming, Bunta Takakura gradually began to understand why Kurosawa Akira once said to Kitano Takeshi, "The future of Japanese cinema depends on you."

Because Takeshi Kitano really understands what movies are.

He tried to create a gentle and lonely atmosphere in the film. The sudden violence and the silence throughout all invisibly amplified this sense of terminal alienation.

The later "Fireworks in the Day" was deeply influenced by this film. Whether it was the unexpected gun battle and death, or the deep-rooted loneliness and self-blame, they were all surprisingly consistent.

But obviously, compared to the "entanglement" in "Fireworks of the Day", Takeshi Kitano in "Fireworks" is obviously more "calm" and more advanced.

Kitano Takeshi's aesthetics of violence are extremely direct and concise in this film, and his unique black humor is all deposited in concise lines.

This is a perfect match with Joe Hisaishi's soundtrack, and the movie can better express this cruel "tenderness of the end".

In addition, Takakura Bunta was deeply impressed by Kitano Takeshi's painting skills. Maybe he made this film to hold a "video art exhibition."

…………

"Action!!"

As Takeshi Kitano's camera moves forward.

Under the blue sky, Nishika Kei, played by Bunta Takakura, is wearing sunglasses and a suit. He looks like a Yamaguchi-gumi cadre, confronting a gangster with yellow hair. Next to him, there is another man who also wears blue cloth. of gangsters.

On Xi Jiajing's car were the leftover lunch boxes and water bottles that the gangsters had eaten earlier, and the whole car was dirty.

Xi Jiajing took his hand out of his pocket.

Bah!
The breaking sound of boxing.

…………

The yellow-haired gangster with a bruised nose and face was kneeling on the front hood of Xijia Jing's car, wiping the windows with water, and accidentally slipped off the hood.

Xi Jiajing kicked him to the ground.

"Stuck! Come this way..."

After filming this section, Director Takeshi Kitano saw that there was no problem in the viewfinder and just passed through it.

....................................

Takakura Bunta came to Kitano Takeshi and looked at the scene in the camera.

This section is the embodiment of Takeshi Kitano’s minimalism.

Da Yin Xisheng.

In Takeshi Kitano's works, language or dialogue has always been a scarce commodity, so it is inevitable that some viewers will find it monotonous.

Akina Nakamori took the script and asked curiously: "Director, is this scene too silent?"

Takeshi Kitano lit a cigarette and explained to the heroine: "Akina, the best form of film expression is silent film. If the meaning can be expressed in simple walking and sitting quietly, the effect will be better than lines and actions." In the entire script of "Hanabi", Officer Kei Nishika, played by Bunta Takakura, has less than twenty lines in total, and Miyuki, the wife of the heroine, Officer Kei Nishika, even has only one line, "I'm sorry, thank you."

The benefits of white space in language are manifold.

First, it allows the audience to focus more on vision and feel the power of lens language through the picture;
Secondly, it has become a small but precise finishing touch. Take the "I'm sorry, thank you" from Police Officer Nishi's wife, which plays a direct role in touching the hearts of the audience. It not only expresses the deep feelings between the husband and wife, but also hints at the subsequent tragedy. ending.

…………

Therefore, Takakura Bunta plays Nishika Kei, the action part.

It's completely different from when I was filming Captain Dragonfly in "Iron Armor", Kiri Elold in "Ultraman Tega" and other leather-covered characters.

There are no fancy moves, just silent and capable fists.

"Hanabi" has just started shooting, and I have been filming some loose and relaxed scenes in the early stage to find the state of the leading actors.

After Takakura Bunta and Nakamori Akina began to gradually develop a tacit understanding, they began to gradually increase their roles.

Both Takakura Bunta and Nakamori Akina tend to be more expressionistic.

…………

The essence of expressionism is ""I'm trying to understand the person. "

Generally speaking, it refers to the common working habits of French theater actors before the 19th century.

Rehearse with yourself at home, design some movements and inner feelings, and use them directly during the performance.

All the theater stars of the time had this habit to a greater or lesser extent.

At the same time, it also generally refers to the behavior of incomplete experience in all experience technologies, that is, the actor is satisfied after experiencing it once and can never experience it again.

Then the performances that follow are all "performances".

Because of this, Expressionism is often equated with "craftsmanship performance" in Stany's eyes. Stany was accused of this, and it was precisely Stany's reputation for the lazy and bad habits of "Expressionism". .

In fact, humans have been using expressionism since they were students, when they handed in their winter and summer vacation homework. Human beings have been using expressionism since they were babies, but there is no technical component in expressionism.

An actor's performance depends entirely on his talent, intuition and accuracy.

…………

This kind of acting method that relies on talent, intuition and accuracy can still be used in supporting roles such as Hayashida Megumi in "High School".

However, as the protagonist in Kitano Takeshi's movie, Takakura Bunta's acting skills are not good enough.

Takeshi Kitano is also a top actor himself.

Go watch "Merry Christmas on the Battlefield" and you will know what great acting is.

"Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence!"

At first I thought he was a cruel, ruthless and rough person, but unexpectedly he turned out to be very sincere.

Kitano Takeshi's contradictory character, rough and subtle, cold and cold but with a trace of pure emotion, can be regarded as an actor level.

....................................

At the beginning of the second week of filming, one scene was rejected more than twenty times, but it was still unable to meet the requirements of director Takeshi Kitano.

Takakura Bunta lit a cigarette and planned to calm down.

At this time, the Nokia 3310 in my pocket received a text message.

"The RPG-X anti-tank rocket launcher was successfully developed and Mizuno Electronics Co., Ltd. started mass production in Sapporo, Hokkaido."

…………

The RPG-X anti-tank rocket launcher is based on the RPG-7 anti-tank rocket launcher and is made of 90 nanometers developed through the newly acquired Toshiba semiconductor technology.

Bunta Takakura stored all the essence of the "Great Slug Split" that he shot in the photolithography machine, causing the chip to produce an "armed domineering" effect.

In other words, after the RPG-X anti-tank rocket launcher is launched, a built-in 1-nanometer "armed color domineering" chip starts to operate, making the rocket appear pitch black and its armor-breaking ability is greatly improved, and can penetrate 90 mm of armor thickness. , equivalent to 500 times the capabilities of the original RPG-7.

Mimihaji PMC Company's covert operations in Jordan used two experimental RPG-X anti-tank rocket launchers.

…………

"Onigashima's science and technology research and development center has begun to try out the domineering chip..."

"Sure enough, domineering is above all else."

Takakura Bunta sighed. Nowadays, Metaverse Planning Company and Mimihaji PMC Company are in full swing, but the main business is the actors I like, and my acting skills have never been able to break through.

Suddenly, Takakura Bunta had an idea in his mind.
